As part of a WowWee’s new “Insider Video” series, two clips giving a sneak peek at some of Femisapien’s more advanced features have been released.

The first video shows WowWee über-inventor Mark Tilden showing just how easy and it is to script Femisapien simply by moving her body around (posing):

The 2nd shows how the scripting-by-posing can be used to create scripts that show truly intricate movements in the setting of a Femisapien fencing match:

The Femisapiens aren’t really fighting each other since it’s all scripted and they are not tracking each other’s movements and then striking at a target, it does make the point strongly of just how nimble she is and just how easy it is to create fun skits with her that involve advanced body movements.

For more information on Femisapien – pictures, videos, tips, tricks, and updated buyer’s information – check out Robots Rule’s Femisapien section.

Note: The E.M.A. robot recently announced by Sega Robots is really WowWee’s Femisapien, which will be released shortly in the USA for a suggested retail price of $99 USD.

You have probably read about this cute little robot from Sega Toys. The fuzzy chick has been featured at many sites, but it has been quite hard to actually order one. But now you can get the Robotic Chicken from Brando for $26.90.

Robotic Chicken by SegaToys is a lifelike motorized baby chicken that cries and flaps its little whirring wings like an actual chick. Featuring a life size chick running on batteries. When being held, the little chick will flap its little wings. Pad on its head or back and the chick will chirp happily.

Here’s a video of the Sega robot chicken, uploaded by Gizmodo:

Each Robotic Chick is packaged in a transparent egg where it sits on a little nest. To make Dream Chick move and chirp, human contact is required. Touch it or pat it and it’ll move its little wings and chirp from time to time. If you leave it alone, it’ll chirp once in a while but contact is the key.

Head over to Brando to order the Robotic Chicken ($26.90).
